Good evening.
I’m a retired guy with hearing problems and can’t hear my TV very well so I’m thinking about getting a home theatre audio system. I primarily want to use it for movies (3d) and watching TV. My living room is about 14’ x 16’ and open into a stairway and dining room. I have an LG 3d TV and Samsung 3d DVD player. I know nothing about electronics or theatre systems.
I’m looking at getting the Onkyo HT-S9400THX (about $620 w/shipping) from ac4l.com based on the reviews I’ve read on this site. I’ve also read opinions that a HTIB may not be the best way to go however I have no experience in determining comparable system specifications. I’ve spent a couple weeks reviewing speaker and receiver specs at amazon, newegg, ac4l.com parts direct, etc and reading lots of posts on this site but I just confuse myself (easy to do) with all the varying information and data.
I’d appreciate any recommendations from the knowledgeable people on this site regarding whether or not to just buy the Onkyo 9400 or build a system. If the recommendation is to build a system I’d appreciate recommendations for the individual items that would be needed to build the system while keeping the costs in the general range as the Onkyo 9400.
Thank you!
